With this program, I would need at least 3 hours a day - to get repertoire in.
This is an incredible routine for building the mechanics of playing.
If I would even dare to offer constructive criticism: repertoire, that is real melodies and phrases are under represented in this routine. It makes sense to allocate time to develop certain skills, but in the end, tunes are what it is all about. If this is a 6th month program to develop technique, OK. Playing repertoire musically gets you jobs - that should NEVER, EVER, EVER be cut short!
I hope that you have at least 3 hours a day!
